AI Technical Summary
Traditional quick-release clips require manual operation to separate and cannot automatically disconnect in the event of a sudden overload, posing a safety hazard. Furthermore, shear pin-type overload protection devices are difficult to reset and have low accuracy.
A pre-tension self-separating quick-release buckle is designed. When the compressible trigger layer reaches the preset threshold tension, it undergoes plastic deformation, and the locking bead retracts radially, realizing the automatic separation of the plug assembly and the socket assembly. The buckle is then reset by the elastic pre-tightening unit, and the button assembly is actively disengaged.
It achieves automatic separation with a millisecond-level response speed, requires no manual intervention, the trigger layer is reusable, the separation tension threshold is precisely controllable, it is suitable for standard QD buckles and has low maintenance costs.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical connector technology, and in particular to a quick-release buckle that can automatically separate under a preset tension, which is suitable for scenarios such as safety ropes requiring overload protection, industrial equipment connections, and sports equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional quick-release clips rely on manual operation for separation and cannot automatically disconnect under sudden overload, posing a safety hazard. Existing technologies use shear pin-type overload protection devices, but these suffer from problems such as difficulty in resetting and low accuracy. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Purpose of the invention: To provide a self-separating quick-release buckle with a simple structure and a precisely controllable separation threshold, solving the problems of lag in manual operation and the non-reusability of the shearing pin.
[0004] Technical Solution: To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pre-tension self-separating quick-release buckle (QD buckle), comprising: a plug assembly (1) with a tapered guide at its front end and an annular groove (9) on its inner wall that mates with locking beads (5); a socket assembly (2) with an axially oriented receiving cavity inside, and multiple locking beads (5) distributed circumferentially within the receiving cavity; a pin (3); an elastic pre-tightening unit (6) located at the rear end of the pin (3); and a compressible trigger layer (7) located between the locking beads (5) and the elastic pre-tightening unit. Between (6), it is made of a plastic material with a preset yield strength; when the axial tensile force borne by the plug assembly (1) and the socket assembly (2) reaches a preset threshold, the compressible trigger layer (7) undergoes plastic deformation, and the locking bead (5) retracts radially under the action of the elastic pre-tightening unit (6), disengaging from the annular groove (9), thereby realizing the automatic separation of the plug assembly (1) and the socket assembly (2); the button assembly (4) is connected by bolts and the pin (3) to realize the active separation of the plug and the socket. Preferably, the compressible trigger layer (7) is an annular gasket made of polyurethane, nylon or engineering plastic, and its thickness and yield strength are selected according to the preset separation tensile force value. Preferably, the locking bead (5) is a hard alloy steel ball with a friction-reducing coating on its surface.
[0005] Beneficial effects: Automatic and rapid separation: No manual intervention required, with a response time in milliseconds; Reusability: It can be reset by replacing the trigger layer, resulting in low maintenance costs; Precise and controllable threshold: The separation tensile force is precisely set by considering the material's mechanical properties and structural parameters, with an error of ≤±5%; High compatibility: It can be integrated into standard QD buckle sizes without modifying existing equipment. Attached Figure Description
[0006] Figure 1 Exploded view of the whole; Figure 2 Cross-sectional view of the quick-release buckle connection. Detailed Implementation
[0007] The trigger ring is made of carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF / PEEK) with a yield strength of 210MPa and a preset separation tensile force of 4.5kN. When the payload connection point of the UAV is subjected to an impact force exceeding 4.5kN during flight (such as strong wind or collision), the trigger ring undergoes plastic deformation within 50ms, the locking ball disengages from the slot, and the payload box automatically detaches from the body to prevent uncontrolled fall. The trigger ring is replaceable and reusable, meeting a cycle life of more than 200 cycles. The design without electronic components avoids electromagnetic interference and is suitable for flammable and explosive environments.
